The FCFCOA: Challenges in Practice for Family Lawyers
Ian Kennedy AM interviews Wendy Kayler-Thomson
Date: 10th August 2022
Duration: Approximately 1 Hour

This isn’t a webinar and it’s not chalk and talk.  It’s a one hour conversation between one of the most respected experts in their chosen field and another expert in the same field.  Each discussion is planned by the two experts and covers an agreed range of issues we’ll share with you.

The new FCFCOA has now been in place long enough for us to know where the key pressure points are and where common mistakes are being made by practitioners. This fireside chat provides you with a unique opportunity to learn directly from the leading experts on the key issues affecting family lawyers in the new landscape, and you will be able to put your own questions to the panel during the presentation. Topics to be canvassed include:

  • What have been some of the benefits in practice of the new Court?
  • What are some of the challenges that have emerged ?
  • What is still in the ‘wait and see’ category?
